READ, A shland daily tid in g s Ukrainian Chorus We feel that the entertainment committee of ¡he Southern Oregon Normal School are perform ing a signal service in presenting the Ukrainian national Chorus as the second number of a series f cultural entertainments fbr the school year. This horus is of nation and world-wide fame and We are »ositive that this attraction will have the united mpport not only of Ashland but of all Sputhetn Oregon. We understand that a large delegation of music lovers from Grants Pass have already reserv- * ed seats. Full attendance will be evidence that the Normal School has the support fo the community * in work of this character. W. H.

Christmas club savings alone amounted to about $400,000,000. This tidy little sum will buy quite a few Christmas presents. It means $15 to $20 a family for the whole nation. That is only a starter for Christmas spending. Most families have other savings. If not, they have their good incomes to depend on and an un precedented volume of credit. Employment holds up well, at high wages and people can afford to buy in greater volume, perhaps, than ever before. The nation may spend a billion dollars for Christ mas. »■' • • These last weeks of 1926 should provide very good business to wind up a year that already has an excellent business record. Team W ork Wins Team work, won a victory for Notre Dame over < Southern California last Saturday. Every cog in Lthat fighting eleven-man machine worked with the fattecision of clock work. The score was close.

This citizen dreams of a team of citizens, not ¡eleven, hut ten, twenty, fifty thousand, as the case may be, all working together for community vic- ¡tory; all fighting to place their town’s colors on ¡the top of the flagstaff. His dream may he a little far-fetched, but at that we can unite more closely for the betterment of our community. Team work builds cities.

This Is probably the first time any eastern Ore- COh business house ever ran eight pages of advertising in It illustrates the trend of the times in successful merchan dising, for such large scale advertising Is becoming quite common In many cities, large and small. (Klamath Falls Herald) The Willamette valley has swollen streams. Up here in the mountains the rain king has been reigning for some time and we are the hap piest people In Oregon over the fact.

On the night of the murder, Laneggqr, hts body a bruised and bloody mass, staggered into the home of a neighbor and screamed hysterically that a "witch” * had beaten him . and murdered his mistress. The police, however, gathered sufficient evldenee to prove that Lanegger knew more about the crime th«n ha cared to tell and they arrested him. At the trial LaneggeY admitted that he had an altercation with Frau Muehlberger and that sever al of hla wound« had been inflict ed by the murdered woman and not the "witch.” Ha atuqk to his ■tory, however,” that the “hob- he said, his mistress was dead. geblin” had entered the honae The court acquitted him, be during the quarrel and knocked cause, the Judge explained, the him unconacloua.
